David Yarrow is perspiring. It’s another sweltering 90-plus degree day in Kenya’s Amboseli National Park and the arid climate is sapping his energy and his patience. The park’s name means “place of dust” and it comprises 150-square miles of flat, largely featureless land on the border of Kenya and Tanzania. Yarrow has come with the hope of photographing lions and perhaps elephants, as he has done many times before. However, during his several days here, wildlife sightings have been sparse. The London-based photographer has repeatedly returned to the park because unlike other African destinations such as Serengeti and Mara national parks, Amboseli is not swamped with tourists—or other photographers.

It teems with wildlife. Elephants, lions, buffalo, in great numbers.

40 Days of Africa by Ian Plant“There’s something magical about Africa, something ephemeral which is hard to put into words. So I’m not even going to try; instead, I’ll let my photos do the talking!
